within, they have a meeting.

Hi, chocolate people.

Hi, I have respect

for what you do.

Sorry I apologize for interrupting you.

But what I am about to say,

is the most ...

most important thing I ever said,

in my life so far.

And, it only takes a minute.

Kevin!

I love you.

Yes, I do not care

who overthrew pushes.

I've run push, Jackie.

I spent my whole life

things pushed Jackie.

But you need not push.

You know.

I have to go over things step ...

and only wear what is important,

and that is you.

I do not care for money, jobs and cars

and chocolate and stuff like that.

No disrespect intended.

I love only you.

That is all that counts.

There are one million things that I have

should have mentioned, much earlier.

A few thousand of them

are written here.

You let me not be ashamed

for myself.

Now I am going to clean our house.

Thanks, chocolate people.

I'm so proud of you.

What is this?

What is this?

Who gave you this?

It sat there.

You must share it.

That was the beginning of his

own incredible journey.

Kevin is with us today,

with his wife Jackie.

Very nice to meet you.

Many have read your book,

"Kevin Lewis, The Kid '.

And this is the incredible story of

You growing up in south London ...

in the 70 and 80.

When you grew up you had a good ...

Now I get too agitated ...

you had a good teacher at school ...

seeing that you lived under

terrible conditions ...

because the house was close to the school.

Your garden was full of waste.

I tell everyone here ...

how proud I am of you.

Every day.

Get out now, you're not too old

should continue to check.

Thank you.

Tell me, how's the family,

Dennis and Gloria you see anymore?

I do not read books.

I am a father.

Yes?

- Yes.

Dennis my book described a man

was very limited intelligence ...

themselves nurtured in care.

And described how Gloria

six years of her youth ...

spent at a

psychiatric institution.

Both were victims of abuse.

Not really a Golden Couple

or parental material.

But, maybe somewhere behind the

dark clouds of the past ...

there were sunny days

they loved each other.

But life

is not about the past.

It's about the future.

And how happy you can be there.

The kid was 18 weeks

on the bestseller list ...

and number one for six weeks.

Kevin lives in Surrey with his family

and is a successful crime writer.

Had I known that the book

would be issued ...

I did not have much left in it

, and had not been published.

Because the unspent

would be ...

until I got the last two

Chapters wrote ...

so it's a fair description.

And I owe to Jackie.

The message to the people at home

in a situation imprisoned?

You must first look inside

to yourself ...

and when you go to yourself inside

have looked ...

look out and see what you

have to do to get there.

So take, take small steps at a time.

But you must continue taking.

Think not:
the world domination.
